Orchids

Orchids is a development environment for macOS that integrates AI to allow you to build complete digital projects without writing a single line of code. Just describe what you have in mind in natural language and get a functional app with frontend, database, and payment systems already configured, without installing dependencies or manually preparing development environments.

Take an idea and get a functional project in minutes

The workflow in Orchids always starts with a conversation: Describe what you want to build and the agent automatically generates the entire architecture, writes the code, and gets it up and running. From a landing page with a form to an interactive game with a database, the system translates your description into a real project with all its files properly structured. If the result doesn't quite match up with your expectations, you can continue adjusting it via the chat, changing colors, behaviors, or entire sections without touching the code yourself.

Site cloning and integrated editor

Orchids includes a URL cloning function where you can replicate the visual structure of any existing webpage and take it as a starting point for your own project. When you need to fine-tune, the integrated code editor allows you to modify any generated file manually. You can also export the entire project to host it on your server or publish it immediately on the automatically assigned subdomain.

Swift, Flutter, React and many more languages

Orchids is especially convenient if you work with Swift or Flutter, although in general it supports a wide range of languages and frameworks: React, Next.js, Python, and more. The agent adapts the generated structure to the stack of your choosing, which makes it just as useful for a developer looking to speed up their usual workflow as for someone lacking technical experience. You can also create bots for Slack, custom AI agents, and full extensions for web browsers.

Use your own AI keys at no extra cost

Unlike similar tools like Bolt or v0, Orchids allows you to connect your existing AI subscriptions. If you have an active ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini account already, you can enter your API key and the agent will use that model as a reasoning engine without forcing you to pay for an extra license, making the most of your current access.

My experience with Orchids

I put Orchids to the test with several real projects that I had underway with other AI development tools. I tried modifying a Lightroom plugin and introducing changes to an open-source Android app hosted on GitHub. In both cases, the result was correct after a few minutes of processing. I also cloned a webpage and Orchids reproduced the code with great fidelity, leaving it ready to customize as a base for my own project.

What I liked most about Orchids and what could be improved

· What I liked most: The program makes it easy to transform a text description into a fully operational web project, and the possibility of using your own AI keys without incurring additional costs is a big positive.

· What could be improved: Projects with very specific business logic may require several rounds of conversation to fine-tune all the details, which quickly consumes free tokens and forces you to wait several days for them to renew or to connect a paid AI account.
